Sporting draw 1-1 in second friendly in the Algarve | OneFootball

The Sporting B team drew 1-1 against Farense, from Liga 2, in a warm-up match played in São Brás de Alportel. The Algarve side opened the scoring through Joseph Nduquidi, but the Lions responded late on with a goal from defender Rayhan Momade.

The friendly was also marked by the absence of Rodrigo Rodrigues. The 18-year-old winger, a signing from Gil Vicente in this summer transfer window, was not included, as he was called up by Rui Borges to work with the first team during the training camp in Lagos.

The match marked the end of the Leonine reserve side’s training camp in the Algarve. After several days of work in the Moncarapacho area, the team coached by Tiago Fernandes now returns to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

Before the draw against Farense, Sporting B had already played another warm-up match during the camp. Against English side Bromley, the young Lions won 3-1, thanks to goals from Manuel Mendonça, Catarino Pascoal and Zaid Bafdili, leaving a positive impression on the coaching staff.

With these two tests completed, Sporting continue to fine-tune their play ahead of the start of the official season. The team led by Tiago Fernandes now continue their work in Alcochete, looking to consolidate routines and integrate the various new signings who arrived in the squad during this transfer window.
